NEW POSITIONS AVAILABLE:

Postdoctoral Research Associate (Level A, Step 8, $93,653 p.a. plus superannuation): A vacancy exists to establish a facility for the measurement of single molecule and monolayer film molecular junctions using STM and allied techniques.

To be considered for this role, you will demonstrate:

• A PhD in physical chemistry or an allied area or relevant field
• Strong track record in scanning probe microscopy
• Experience in the measurement of electronic properties of molecules using STM based methods and interpretation of resulting data is highly desirable
• Excellent interpersonal, team and communication skills
• Capacity for high-quality research evinced through publication of research outputs in peer-reviewed international journals, conference presentation and / or other media
• Experience in the measurement of electronic properties of molecules using STM based methods and interpretation of resulting data is highly desirable
• Experience in the preparation and characterisation of self-assembled monolayer films is desirable.

Full details of the position's responsibilities and the selection criteria are outlined in the position description

Informal enquires may be directed to Professor Low ([email protected])

Up to three PhD scholarships ($30,000 p.a., international applicants may also need to apply for a Scholarship for International Research Fees) You will be a part of a multidisciplinary team working within the Low group and interacting closely with a network of world-class surface scientists, scanning-probe microscopists, electrochemists and theoreticians to develop molecular materials for applications in electronics and future materials technologies. Training will be provided to the successful students in appropriate aspects of synthetic chemistry, including inert atmosphere techniques, electrochemistry, and / or scanning probe microscopy depending on skills, interests and attributes.

To be eligible you will hold Honours degree (H1) or MSc in Chemistry or equivalent, with a substantial research project component, and appropriate English language skills.
